I thought I'd make my own thread about my car and it's modifications and add ons. Because this is the Image Forum, I'll put together all the pictures of the stuff I've done to my car to date and in the future.

Early on the windows got tinted all the way around with a wicked dark 20% 3M tint and a clear bra was installed. That cost me a total of $575 for both, which got rolled into the finacing of the car. Well worth it!http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5171/...b0f8350a_b.jpg

More to come, maybe something having to do with exhaust or springs. Not sure which I want to do first. But I might also open up the factory airbox a bit and cut out the back side diamond holes in that new right hand fog light grill. The bottom of the airbox is directly behind and above that opening.

OK, so now the front end is all mostly De-Chromed. Blacked out the chrome with some Ultra-Flat black paint. And then instead of "Clearing" the amber lenses, I painted them with a black lens shading spray. I still wanted the amber to show through on the turn signals and side marker light, but I didn't want to see the amber without the lights being on. And for the turn signal, I also didn't want to simply clear that lens out and show the chrome behind it. I love the stealthy look of this headlamp now. It's simular to ikonosin's car, but with my own twists.

Here you can see the side marker glowing through. It's actually a lot brighter than what is shown here. And I also hit the righ turn signal and shot it while it was glowing to show that the amber can still be seen. Again, it's brighter in person. The flash is washing the color and intensity out.http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5035/...6becbb9e_b.jpg

I also added a set of RGB, 80mm Angel Eyes to the mix. This is the left headlamp with the AE's glowing Red. Don't worry, it can also be set to glow Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple as well as White. And they are dimable. The red is just creepy and demonic!http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6005/...1a4bf5ca_b.jpg
